hey guys.. well the lump that wouldnt quit grew much larger this weekend. my friend "F" head.. well at 1230am this morning it broke, i felt it, it had hurt bad all day. i rushed to the bathroom and got my pj's off. and proceeded to bleed all over the floor for quite a while. it was just running out and big droplets. it was like a crime scene! BUT, the lump is now gone down 95% and it feels so much better. the bad thing is now of course its seeping. i did take a couple percosets to sleep though. it was very painfull. fever has been gone since sat night. so i dont think this had anything to do with it. mostly just blood, and a tiny amount of pus. so maybe its not a fistula after all? at least not from the drainage eveidence. will talk at the dr tuesday.. ( why does this crap always happen on holidays and weekends!?)

Randy I don't know how you do it. If I saw that much blood coming from me, I would be screaming bloody murder.
You seem to take things in you stride, without going into a huge hissy fit. Have I told you lately, you're my hero...

BTW, I hope you get to feel a little better soon.....

Randy!! I think there is a law that abscesses form on holiday weekends. All three of mine did just that!! Or at least at the most inconvenient time. Like twice my family had travel plans booked. I love them so much -- they canceled their plans to take care of me. Shows again how this DD affects more than the person with CD.

I hope you get on antibiotics soon!! And I'm glad you aren't "full of it" anymore! Flagyl worked so well for me with post-abscess stuff but now I get tingly toes within days. :-(

Get better ASAP!!

Poor Randy, hope that bursted lump turns out to be nothing serious :(

Interestingly enough, I was wondering if there is a MANopause and although it is up for debate as to whether or not it should happen to all men as they age, there is a condition called "andropause" where testosterone levels are too low and it can cause sweating and hot flashes and bone weakening and loss of muscle mass.  Maybe they can check your testosterone to see if you need a boost, and if you need the boost that might make you get fevers less often?
